Indolent B-NHL who transformed into aggressive B-NHL and were previously treated with Rituximab-Cyclophosphamide, Hydroxydaunomycin, Oncovin, and Prednisone (R-CHOP) are eligible. * Tumoral tissue (at diagnosis or relapse) available for central pathology review, exploratory endpoints and ancillary studies * Positron-emission tomography (PET)-positive disease * Patients must have received adequate first-line therapy including at a minimum: an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (rituximab or obinutuzumab), and Cyclophosphamide, Hydroxydaunomycin, Oncovin, and Prednisone (CHOP) or CHOP-like chemotherapy * Relapsed or refractory disease after first-line chemoimmunotherapy (full dose of R-CHOP or R-CHOP-like regimen), documented by PET-scan * At least 2 weeks must have elapsed since any prior systemic cancer therapy at the time the patient provides consent * Patients must be autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT)-ineligible * Patients must be CAR-T-eligible * Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine…

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
